Okay, so this isn’t exactly a wedding. But it was so stinking adorable, I just couldn’t help myself. It was sent to us by Jen Huang , who is an incredible photographer and behind some of SMP’s most popular weddings ( click here and click here for total goodness), and seems to me to be the PERFECT inspiration for an engagement party, a shower, a cute rehearsal dinner or even a sweet, casual wedding! Love, love, love

Lest you fear that I don’t have serious love for flowers of ALL stripes, I give you… The Tale of our Trip to The LA Flower Mart! So, one day last September, the obsessive planner/crazy-bride-to-be in me had a brilliant idea: we should go to the Flower Mart to scout the types of flowers that would be available next year! (Did I say brilliant? I may have meant cuckoo…) But I didn’t stop there! Nope! I figured we could even make a few arrangements to test drive the milk glass that was already taking over our kitchen island. Yay! So I quickly threw together a flower inspiration board to guide our journey: clockwise from left: source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source The following day, in honor of our wedding being less than one year away and both of us having a surprise day off, we headed down to the LA Flower Mart to check out what was available.
